Start Date Context Status Description
2020-11-17 hst_0845.pmap operational Updating the ACS WFC darkfile and drkcfile rmaps to reflect a more accurate USEAFTER date of 2015-01-15 for files with a previous USEAFTER of 2015-01-19.
2020-11-16 hst_0844.pmap archived The new UVIS filter curves were calculated after correcting for temporal changes in the detector sensitivity derived from over 10 years of monitoring data and by using new HST CALSPEC models. Bohlin et al. 2020, AJ, 160, 21 and Calamida et al. 2020, WFC3 ISR. The new IR filter curves were calculated after correcting the data with new flat fields Mack et al. 2020, WFC3-ISR and by using new HST CALSPEC models Bohlin et al. 2020, AJ, 160, 21 and Bajaj et al. 2020, WFC3 ISR. The new in-flight correction were calculated after correcting for temporal changes in the detector sensitivity derived from over 10 years of monitoring data and by using new HST CALSPEC models Bohlin et al. 2020, AJ, 160, 21 and Calamida et al. 2020, WFC3 ISR. The new aperture corrections were calculated after correcting for temporal changes in the detector sensitivity derived from over 10 years of monitoring data Calamida et al. 2020, WFC3 ISR.
2020-11-12 hst_0843.pmap archived New weekly biases and darks were created for the new anneal month and need to be delivered for GO observations. These files are available for STIS CCD observations taken after 31 July 2020.
2020-11-11 hst_0842.pmap archived The ACS WFC bias, dark, CTE dark, and sink files were generated following the ACS WFC anneal on Nov 10, 2020, and should be used to calibrate ACS WFC observations taken between Oct 14, 2020 and Nov 10, 2020.
